(لَا وِعَاءَ أَسْوَأُ مِنَ البَطْنِ)(No vessel is worse than the stomach)
Hadith 5192
اُردوEn
وَعَن مقدامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ بِحَسْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثٌ طَعَامٌ وَثُلُثٌ شَرَابٌ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ وَابْن مَاجَه
Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “No man fills a vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for a person to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his back straight. But if he must (eat more), then one third (of his stomach) should be for food, one third for drink, and one third for air.” Sahih, narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
